I know you're perfectly right, but conservative as I am I'll stick with "Moondance".

But I am really glad to see I'm not the only fan of Van the Man.

Get On Top - Tim Buckley

Crazy On You - Heart

"Unloveable," the Smiths

"Don't Explain" - Billie Holliday

Ethically, I cannot agree with it, but I have to admit it does something for me.

hi all
well, how about carmen
("l'amour est un oiseau rebelle" with say teresa berganza),

salome (thinking of ljuba welitsch),

bruennhilde (well, maybe not her but the music she sings--my favorite will always include kirsten flagstad),

shifting over to french cabaret singers, how about edith piaf?

portuguese fado (amalia rodriguez);

and hillel and aviva for example, dodi li bekharmen ain gedi;

for sexy sounds (other than ravel's bolero) in more recent musical history, it is hard to beat barry white's stuff.

may you be listening to something like any of the above or preceding musical suggestions while snuggled up in front of a lovely fireplace with suitable additions as desired.

I would pick "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye, or "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green. The old school R&B/soul crooners were the best at this sort of thing. You can't do what the thread is implying with a lot of rock music. One exception being "Riviera Paradise" by Stevie Ray Vaughan.

I actually think it's harder to find sexy songs sung by men than by women for some reason, but I know of a few.
I find Sting's songs sexy, but cannot pick just one.
I'd probably choose a mushier one than a sexy one in any case.

Dan Fogelberg's 'Longer Than' is one of the nicest ones I remember from my callow youth.

However, I think anything Amos Lee sings right now is beautiful...then I saw I could be his mother easily...so that kind of dashed my hopes!

For women's voices, I don't know any men capable of resisting Diana Krall's renditions of old tunes...Temptation comes to mind, or any of the older tunes. I keep thinking, sigh, I've got her range, but not her legs!
She's just had twin boys last month with husband Elvis Costello.

I was just thinking of both of those. "Me and Mrs. Jones" is pretty hot, too.

Another favourite since high school - Hummingbird by Leon Russell. He wrote it for his soul mate Rita Coolidge. What a romantic, yet raw and powerful song. I've probably heard him sing it in person a dozen times over the years but it still gives me goosebumps.

"Hummingbird" by Leon Russell. What a cool song. I love B.B. King's version of it. I did see Leon Russell once, but he didn't perform it that night.

No,no NO! I have completely changed my mind. I think the sexiest song EVER is "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" by Roberta Flack. Have you listened to it lately? Wonderful!

try Steve Miller Band...The Joker
The beat says it all

Definitely 'Love to Love you Baby' by Donna Summer. The full length version of the song lasts 17 minutes, and takes up the whole of side one of a gold album. It is one of the most erotic and sensual songs ever released, and was banned by a number of radio stations including the BBC, because of its raunchy content. Summer simulates over 20 orgasms during the full length version, and the shortened version of the song got into the US and UK top twenty.
The other side of the album contains songs which are almost as sensual, such as 'Need a man Blues', and 'Full of Emptiness'.

Oh, my !...I just heard one on the radio I'd forgotten about: "Here and Now" by Luther Vandross.

Whew. Pardon me while I get some ice water...

i would have to say
cherry pie by warrant

Fever, by just about anyone...Elvis' version isn't bad nor is Peggy Lee. LIsten to Diana Krall's too.

yes. the first thing that came to mind to me was Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On'. I also thought of George Michael's
'Careless Whispers.'

I have to say it at the risk of sounding so cliche it's almost painful. Nobody tops Marvin Gaye with "Let's get it on." There is not a song in the world, in my opinion, that is sexier than that one.

Edited: Stu that is the best avatar I've seen in ages!

Edited again because Indie didn't read the whole thread. Van Morrison could sing me his shopping list and I'd need some ice water and cold compress. That man's voice, well, I need some ice water now come to think of it.
